SST® –5D

SST® –5D by Shamrock is a white low molecular weight PTFE powder with an aggregate particle size mean value of 5 μm. Acts as a slip, scratch, rub and abrasion resistance agent. Provides slip (low COF), high temperature resistance, mar/scuff, mold release, rub and abrasion resistance properties. SST® –5D by Shamrock is recommended for thin film inks and coatings. SST®-5D is also recommened in all water-based, solvent-based, powder, and UV coating systems at 3% of total formula weight (or 0.5-1% when used with 2-3% synthetic wax). Typical applications include high rub offset inks, direct-to-metal (DTM) coatings, can coatings, specialty lubricating coatings for nuts and bolts and metal fasteners. It meets the requirements of CFR 21 175.105, 175.300, 176.170, and 176.180.
